PLEASE NOTE: There has been a change in the way that student's taking the exam via WebAssign will be registered to take the exam. Any student may create an account and practice in WebAssign, but in order for your students to take the actual exam in WebAssign, TEACHERS/PROCTORS will need to send a spreadsheet with your student's names and email addresses to AAPT at programs@aapt.org. You will need to send the names and email addresses by January 5, 2016, we will create user ids and passwords for your students and email them back to you. You will also be asked to indicate what day you plan to administer the exam, there will be a different password each day, and you will receive a password on the day you plan to administer the exam. You will be receiving an email further explaining these procedures.

Practicing & Administering the Exam

Students will be able to take past exams to practice how to answer questions in WebAssign. When the exam dates are open, none of the practice exams will be available.

The student's instructor or person proctoring the exam will have the password for the "F= ma" exam and should administer the test verifying that the student took the exam. Students will get just one attempt to answer all 25 questions.
